Article Summarizer

Overview

• Project Link

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Next.js, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Django, GraphQL, SQLite
• AI: Hugging Face Transformers

Notes

• Summarization uses facebook/bart-large-cnn locally — responses are slow without a GPU. This is expected, not a bug.
• Built as a learning project to explore full-stack development with a Django/GraphQL backend and Next.js frontend.

Future Directions

• Add a job queue so summarization runs asynchronously
• Deploy affordably long-term (GPU requirement makes this tricky)
• Extend into multi-perspective article discussion via LLMs
